  1. Know and practice the spirit of MI that is fundamental to the practice;
  2. Be able to identify four processes of an MI intervention (engagement, focusing, evocation and planning);
  3. Will be able to develop their skills in using the basic tools : open questions, empathic reflection (simple and complex), affirmations, summaries and giving information in an MI-adherent way, and will have had an opportunity to use other ways to address ambivalence; and
  4. Will be able to use effective strategies to reduce discord and sustain talk, and move clients toward change talk
